I have my CCW and have had it for the last year or so.

Last week I was driving home late at night, like 12:30 am or so. I just got off the highway after doing 70mph for an hour, and hit a 35mph zone, needless to say I got busted doing 54 in a 35.

I have no problem getting a ticket, and handling that. I was in the wrong, and will suffer the consequences.

My question comes in here:

When the officer came up to my truck I already had all my paperwork out and handed it to him.

When he came back up to my car he gave me my stuff back, and then while I was taking my ass chewing I started to put my ID into my wallet. As I did this he saw my CCW permit and asked what it was.

When I told him what it was, he started yelling at me and told me I was required to tell him right when he pulled me over that I was a CCW holder. I told him I was not carrying my weapon at the time, but if I would I for sure would have let him know.

He told me that it doesn't matter if I have my weapon or not, I am required by law to inform him that I have a CCW.

He even went as far as to tell me that he could take it from me right there on the spot for not informing him.

I thought 2 things, 1. They knew we were CCW holders the minute they ran our info, and 2. We only had to tell them if we were actually carrying.

What say you?
